Jared Polis and two other House members who have shown a piqued interest in digital currency are hosting an event on the topic Tuesday evening in a House office building.

Polis, D-Colo., Reps. Robert W. Goodlatte, R-Va., and Mick Mulvaney, R-S.C., are the big names associated with BitCoin Demo Day from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Rayburn House Office Building. Companies like Expedia, which earlier this year announced it would accept bitcoins to book hotels, and bitcoin payment processor BitPay will be there, according to a news release.

According to a Polis aide, the event will cover the basics of digital currencies and their current and potential future uses. And it’ll give lawmakers a chance to ask questions and have experts address concerns, according to the aide.
